Chapter 126: Su Muling is missing
Xiao Wenxuan, who was kidnapped by King Ping, was hot in his heart at the moment, and the emperor was willing to give way with a broken arm for the sake of him, an illegitimate son who couldn't do anything...... Xiao Wenxuan's heart was sour, and his eyes were wet.
"Uncle Huang, I'm just a ...... Uncle Huang doesn't have to do this for me. ”
"You'an, the most sorry thing in my life is you and your mother. For the sake of this throne, I gave up on her and gave up on you. Every time I think of your mother marrying far away in the Northwest, and being alone for many years and not being able to reunite with relatives, my heart is like a knife. You'an, I've always wanted to compensate you, and now that the opportunity has come, I'm willing to break my arm and give up for you. ”
After speaking, he turned around and drew the sword of the stone dragon.
"Father, don't ......" The third prince almost broke out of his wheelchair and was stopped by the guards on the side.
"Father, he is your son, aren't we? Father, when King Ping ascends the throne, we will have no peace, father! ”
The second prince pounced on the emperor, fell to his knees with a thud, and begged bitterly.
The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, although the emperor is not very enthusiastic about the harem on weekdays, but these princes are royal blood, he looked at the five princes and the six princes who were crying in fright beside him, and closed his eyes in pain.
"King Ningjun?"
Yu Shilong exclaimed, moving everyone's attention to Xiao Wenxuan.
I saw that he grabbed the wrist of King Ping's sword, his body was short and turned quickly, and before King Ping could react, he had already snatched the sword and put it on King Ping's shoulder.
"Lay down your arms or I'll kill him." Xiao Wenxuan's voice was hoarse, but with an invisible majesty.
The cronies around King Ping never thought that Xiao Wenxuan, who was dying of illness, would turn things around at a critical moment, and he didn't know what to do if he stayed where he was for a while.
"You?" King Ping was shocked.
"You think I've been poisoned by you, and I'm like a waste, right?"
Xiao Wenxuan regained his original upright figure, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was full of anger. It's completely like the sick seedling who was out of breath just now.
"It's a pity that you forgot that I still have a master who can detoxify."
"Lord Wang, do you still know me?"
Nangong Yi, who was disguised as Yin Wu, also came to Xiao Wenxuan's side with a sword, and he winked at King Ping. King Ping naturally couldn't recognize it, but he guessed that this person might be Nangong Yi after cross-dressing.
"You? How dare you infiltrate my palace? "King Ping was so angry that he was tricked and exposed in public, and he hated to kill people.
"Lord Ping, you are underestimating me, don't say it's King Ping's Mansion, even the palace I can enter and exit freely."
"You still don't put down your weapons? I'll count to three, and if I don't let go, I'll cut off one of your lord's arms. …… Three ......" Nangong Yi finished speaking, raising the sword in his hand.
"Wait!"
He Qian and the others were hesitating, but they didn't expect Nangong Yi to directly cross the first and second and shout out the three, so frightened that He Qian shouted, and hurriedly threw down the steel knife in his hand and knelt on the spot.
"Can't let go, kill him, kill him for me."
King Ping was caught in Xiao Wenxuan's hands, and he was desperately clamoring for his life, Xiao Wenxuan's heart was extremely cold.
Xiao Wenxuan dragged King Ping to the emperor and threw King Ping on the ground.
The other cronies of King Ping did not dare to move anymore and put down their weapons one after another, and Yu Shilong immediately led people to come forward to arrest all the remnants of King Ping.
A rebellion that had been planned for many years, because of Xiao Wenxuan's intervention, came to an end in just half a day.
……
Back at the palace, the emperor immediately sent 800 li to expedite and ordered the prefect of Qizhou to arrest the remaining party of King Ping and seal the palace of King Ping.
Ren Weiwu Hou Wei Yao was appointed as the minister of the Qin Mission, and went to the northwest to deal with the family of King Ping and the rest of the party of King Ping. The Northwest Army could not be left without an owner for a day, and Ning Jingyan, the emperor's military general, was the general of Sanpin Zhaowu and went to the northwest with Wei Yao to take over the army.
Wei Yao was going to go to the northwest, and Xiao Wenxuan remembered that Su Muling was also going to follow him.
There were still a few hours before departure, Xiao Wenxuan took the time to go back to the palace, packed a few changes of clothes, and was just about to go out, when he saw Wuying hurriedly running.
Xiao Wenxuan saw that there was no shadow and happily greeted him.
"You're back. What about Li Feng? ”
Xiao Wenxuan glanced behind him, but there was no one in sight.
Wuying lowered his head and sighed: "Lord Wang, his subordinates are incompetent, he and Li Feng were originally escorting Prince Ping back to Beijing, but he unexpectedly walked halfway and let him jump off the cliff to escape, there was a river under the cliff, and his subordinates and Li Fengbing chased him in two ways, and in the end even Li Feng was gone." His subordinates searched along the river for a few days and found nothing, so they had to come back and report to the prince. ”
Ping Wang Shizi ran away?
"Where did you run?" Xiao Wenxuan asked.
"Hanzhong, please allow me to bring more men and horses, I will definitely arrest him back."
Xiao Wenxuan looked at the shadowless and thin face, knowing that he must have suffered a lot in Qizhou, and he was afraid that he would be exhausted from running all the way from Hanzhong.
He grabbed his arm with his hand and comforted: "King Ping has already been captured, even if Xiao Wenchen runs away, there is no climate." Catch him, don't rush for a while. You stay in the house to recuperate first, I just happened to go to Lingzhou to pick up Ling'er, and I will arrange this matter. "You don't care.
As soon as Wuying heard that the prince was going to leave him behind, he was anxious to follow Xiao Wenxuan.
Xiao Wenxuan felt sorry for him and resolutely refused to allow it. Let him stay in the mansion and wait for Li Feng to come back, and take Fang Ping on the road himself.
On the journey to the northwest again, they abandoned the car and rode their horses, ran all the way, and arrived in Qizhou in only half a month.
did not return to the Ping Palace, Xiao Wenxuan took Fang Ping directly to find Su Muling.
Along the way, Xiao Wenxuan's mood was excited, and it was more than a month since the last parting, and he couldn't wait to appear in front of her immediately.
According to the address provided to him by Nangong Yi, Xiao Wenxuan came to an alley and found the small courtyard where Su Muling lived. The door was hidden, and Fang Ping stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Woohoo!" Fang Ping called for the door, but no one answered.
Fang Ping called again, and for a long time, no one answered.
Xiao Wenxuan suddenly had an ominous premonition. He pushed the door open and entered.
It was an ordinary triad with all the doors wide open.
Xiao Wenxuan's brows tightened, and he and Fang Ping looked separately. A few teacups were shattered on the table in the hall, a dozen rice dumplings and a few sachets were scattered on the floor, and a few chairs were not complete.
Xiao Wenxuan came to the East House, and on an old-fashioned dresser in the house, except for an elm comb and a bronze mirror, there were no women's fat powder jewelry, which made him wonder for a moment whether this was Su Muling's hiding place.
He opened the closet, and there were several women's clothes inside. He flipped through it and pulled out a concubine-colored narrow-sleeved jacket.
This is Su Muling's, Su Muling and he were trapped in the Ping Palace, and Su Muling used to pass through. Xiao Wenxuan closed his eyes and buried his face in his clothes.
"Lord Wang, no one."
Fang Ping saw that Xiao Wenxuan's face was ugly, and his voice was a few degrees lower.
Through the open window, Xiao Wenxuan looked up at the courtyard wall, and his head shrank back busily.
……
took Fang Ping to the next door and patted the door for a long time before a middle-aged woman came out of it.
"Who are you looking for?" A tall, chubby woman bared half of her head.
Xiao Wenxuan arched his hand and asked, "Do you know where this family has gone?" ”
When the woman heard that she was referring to the Su Muling family next door, her face immediately panicked: "I don't know." "As he spoke, he was about to close the door.
Fang Ping quickly blocked the door with his hand, spread out his palm, and handed over a piece of silver.
"Trouble aunt tell us what's wrong with this family? Where did it go? Fang Ping's face was dark, and he became more and more afraid when he became serious.
The woman became more and more panicked: "We small families live our own lives, and we never come and go, I really don't know. After saying that, he forced the door shut.
Fang Ping saw that it was soft, so he jumped directly onto the wall and jumped into the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and welcomed Xiao Wenxuan in.
"You guys?" When the woman saw someone leaping over the wall, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back.
"Listen, this is the king of Ningjun, and the prince wants to know what happened in that courtyard. Do you want to talk about it here or go back to the yamen with us? ”
"Lord Wang? …… Rajah...... ...... Atonement
When the woman heard that it was the prince in front of her, she was already frightened and weak, and immediately knelt on the ground and shook like chaff.
"Just tell me what you know." Although Xiao Wenxuan was anxious, he tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
The woman only knew that there were two men and two women living in the courtyard, and she did not go out on weekdays, nor did she interact with her neighbors. Half a moon ago, on the Duanyang Festival, a group of people surrounded the courtyard, took those people away, and never came back. ”
"Who are their captors?" Xiao Wenxuan's eyes were sharp.
The women looked through the crack in the door, and the men were dressed in the same clothes and holding knives in their hands, as if they were officers and soldiers.
Soldiers? Xiao Wenxuan turned his head and left.
Fang Ping threw the silver in his hand at the woman and quickly followed.
Xiao Wenxuan turned over and went straight to the Yazhou Mansion.
Cao Bingsheng, the prefect of Qizhou, was discussing with Wei Yao about the arrest of Xiao Wenchen, a prisoner in the imperial court, when he heard that the king of Ningjun was coming, he quickly put down what he was doing and greeted Wei Yao.
Xiao Wenxuan and them politely went directly to the topic: "Did Lord Cao arrest two men, two women and four people in Nanping Lane half a month ago?" ”
Cao Bingsheng was stunned, and hurriedly called someone to call the military book, and only after asking did he return to Xiao Wenxuan, "Go back to the prince, there are no four people you said." ”
"Lord Cao, among these four people are the princess and her maidservant, as well as the eldest prince of Anji, and the entourage of the mighty Wei Shizi. These four people were arrested by a team of officers and soldiers in Nanping Lane half a month ago, and their whereabouts are still unknown. ”
Xiao Wenxuan's face was full of strength, and every sentence was like a giant hand choking Cao Bingsheng's neck.
"The princess was arrested?" Wei Yao looked at Cao Bingsheng with wide eyes.
Princess? A different prince? The mighty Houfu? Cao Bingsheng's face was pale, and a layer of sweat appeared on his head.
"Lord Wang, Xia Guan really didn't arrest the princess and her subordinates, this is ...... Could it be a misunderstanding? ”
"Misunderstanding? The neighbor who lives next door to the princess saw the princess arrested the princess with his own eyes, and you still don't admit it? ”
Fang Ping didn't care how big an official Cao Bingsheng was, as long as he was not as big as the prince of his family, he dared to point his nose and question.
"The prince is angry, the prince, think about it, the lower officials...... Xiaguan didn't even know that the princess was in Qizhou...... Just know, you just borrowed a few guts from the lower officials, and the lower officials ...... The lower officials didn't dare to arrest the princess. Cao Bingsheng was so anxious that he said that it was not good to ask.
